[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No clear thinking nanny would agree to "keep herself busy" all day, except for "a meal break", unless she was an immigrant, maybe. Be honest, people.[/quote]

I guess I just don't get this thinking. I'm busy at my job all day, except for a meal break (usually) When I worked lower paid, hourly jobs, I was busy at them all day. When I moved on to a salaried position, I'm busy at it all day. Again, negotiate the job you want, but I'm not going to apologize for offering a well paying job with benefits, PTO, vacation, health care, etc etc that happens to require the person in it to be actually working for 6.5-7 out of 8 hours.

And before anyone goes there, keeping busy doesn't mean scrubbing toilets. It can be reading to a child, going to the park, planning craft activities. But it can also be unloading the dishwasher or folding a load of laundry. The point is, my nanny doesn't think of down time as her time. It's work time. And that attitude is what makes her a great employee. [/quote]

*Can't read to a baby who's asleep.
*Can't leave the house when the baby's asleep.
*Can't plan craft activities for an under-1YO.
*Unloading the dishwasher takes me 5-10 min.
*Folding laundry takes me 10-15 min.

You are just missing the bit where most of us DO all of these things, and more, but it just doesn't take us the whole damn nap to get them done![/quote]
